Really? I also did this in Pre-EU days and it was all dead straightforward for me, I just gave the guy the cash and he gave me the relevant certificates.

Maybe you'd just rubbed him up the wrong way?

Can't wait for Geoff's prediction of the exchange rate at €1.40 to the £.

Going to send some money over when it goes up tomorrow.

Please try to bear in mind that for every 52 people celebrating there are 48 who are not. With a few more who are still not sure.

If not everyone agrees with you then there is no need to be vindictive.

Some are adamant ... and will be proved correct.
Some are adamant ... and will be proved incorrect.
Some, on both sides, ... continue to dither.
Some ... just have no opinion at all.
Some are willing to compromise.
Some refuse to compromise.
I don't think anyone (if they have any morals) wishes the total demise of other nations.
But they do wish for the success of their own nation, if they are a true Patriot.
Live & let live ... worldwide.

Protect where we can ... Help where we can.
PULL TOGETHER !

Isn't that a bit like saying a political party shouldn't celebrate an election victory because not everyone voted for them?

Brexit was won against all the odds, and in the face of the united opposition of the establishment, the judiciary, all but one Westminster Party [and they only had one seat], and blatant scaremongering from the EU, the IMF, the OECD, and every global corporate in the universe.

It was a massive achievement, and well worth celebrating loudly [and presently drunkenly]

And if the people who voted to remain, or campaigned for it want to begrudge us a little celebration, today of all days, because they feel we're being mean to them personally then, I guess, the only thing I can say would be that a better time to have thought about that would have been before adopting the strategy of characterising anyone who wanted to leave as a know-nothing xenophobic racist Neanderthal, as that might have disinclined us slightly from ramming it quite so far down their throats today

No one, I repeat NO ONE, is begruding you your celebration and no one, I repeat NO ONE, is referring to you as neanderthal or anything like it. Please try to understand that.

I have no idea what the outcome will be now but, as they say, you reap what you sow or you have made your bed now lie in it.

The future is YOURS. I just hope you are happy.
